it is possible you never entered the School of Fine Arts, but I will give you some good reasons why you should do it.

besides being a beautiful building and an ancient palace from 19th century, hosting now the fine arts students, it has magnificient gardens, with art pieces, external buildings with exhibitions, and a museum, that you definitely should visit.

the School of Fine Arts is located at the oriental part of the city, a very residential area still, but more and more attractive and with small emerging interesting businesses worth visit - cafes, organic bakery, bars, vintage stores,....

follow Viver o Porto's advise, go there and get surprised! :) it is a flourishing area!
